It's been a while....

Part of the team is off in college but I'm still watching the anime that Animepooka got me into!

The month of May saw little viewing since a HS Graduation took place but summer was filled with a lot of anime viewing. Since Dre has gone off to college I've heard that she hasn't had a chance to watch much of anything, although it seems that recently she was able to re-watch PeaceMaker Kurogane which is an all time favorite in our house. I sent Hellsing off to her as well in hopes that she could drag her boyfriend over to "the dark side".

Trinity Blood will be on my viewing list shortly since last week it was finally completed. I watched the first 6 episodes and it had true promise so I'm looking forward to watching it.

In the meantime I downloaded a new series that struck my fancy called Okusama wa Joshikousei. It's about a HS girl (17 yo) who is secretly married to her physic professor (25 yo). They need to keep their relationship a secret since it could cause Danna-sama to lose his employ. They also have not consummated their relationship because they signed a prenuptial with her father where they would refrain from sexual relations until she graduates. This obviously leads to many funny and suggestive moments. The series appears to be slotted for a 26 episode run and I have just seen 6. It reminds me a bit of Rizelmine.

Last, but not least, in the next few weeks I will tackle Full Metal Panic - The Second Raid. I was surprised to see it run for just 13 episodes but the buzz is that the short series does not effect the drama. Yes, this is more on the lines of the first season of FMP which was a drama scattered with enough humor to make us ask for more. Although I laughed with FMP?Fumoffo, I could never really get into it because Sousuke seemed out of character. I wanted to know more about his past and how he became a soldier. I'm not sure I'll get that with Second Raid but at least I'll have more that silliness to bite down on. I'll be viewing this one over Thanksgiving week when Dre comes home.

Well, that's it for now. If you were expecting pictures, I admit I have not figured that one out but I hope at some point it will happen. I also admit to not being good at reporting episode to episode, so don't expect that either. I'm posting just my thoughts on the series I'm watching and what makes me enjoy/hate them.
